I2C & SPI pins are not released when modules are initialised with different pins

[microbit-carlos]

With the update from https://github.com/microbit-foundation/micropython-microbit-v2/issues/112 and https://github.com/microbit-foundation/micropython-microbit-v2/issues/111 we can change the I2C and SPI pins to other pins than 19 and 20. However, the pin modes are not updated.

Using a build from the latest commit in main: https://github.com/microbit-foundation/micropython-microbit-v2/actions/runs/7565598370

>>> pin19.get_mode()
'i2c'
>>> pin0.get_mode()

>>> i2c.init(sda=pin0, scl=pin1)
>>> i2c.scan()

>>> pin0.get_mode()
'unused'
>>> pin0.write_digital(1)
>>> pin19.get_mode()
'i2c'
>>> pin19.write_digital(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

@dpgeorge is it possible that this issue is caused by this? Or is it something else?

The problem here is MicroPython specific, it's because previous I2C and SPI pins are not being released, and new ones not being acquired.
